Notes:
1. For DC inductive loads, use an arc suppress-
ing circuit.
2. When used under a DC load operating at
high repetition rate with considerable arcing,
corrosion of the contacts and/or the contact
blades is likely to occur. When using the relay
under conditions of high temperature, humidity
or high repetition rate, it is suggested that the
relay cover be removed to facilitate extended
operation.

NOTES
1. The range of coil current for AC relays
is
±
15% (60 Hz). For DC relays it is
±
10% at 20
°
C,
68
°
F.
2. The HP relay will operate in a range
from 80% to 110% of the nominal coil
voltage. It is, however, recommended
that the relay be used in the range of
85% to 110% of the nominal coil volt-
age, with the temporary voltage varia-
tion taken into consideration.
3. When the operating voltage of AC re-
lays drops below 80% of the nominal
coil voltage, the relay will generate a
considerable amount of heat which is
not recommended for maximum effi-
ciency.
4. The coil resistance of DC types is the
measured value of the coil at a temper-
ature of 20
°
C
68
°
F.
If the coil tempera-
ture changes by
±
1
°
C, the measured
value of the coil resistance should be
increased or decreased by 0.4%.
5. For applications from 220 V to 240 V
DC, connect a resistor in series with
the relay coil. See chart for resistor val-
ues.

Notes:
1. Operating current of relays should be in-
creased by the value of LED operating current.
Please refer the table. Operating current of
neon lamp is approx. 0.3 mA to 0.4 mA.
2. To use the HP relay in the inductive load cir-
cuit, the contact protection circuit is recom-
mended.
Notes:
1. Pay attention to the polarity of coil See circuit diagram (LED type only).
